I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Love: I'm Old Fashioned by Blossom Dearie
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one about the latest fads
I am not well-versed in the latest trends or fashions.
I admit I was never one adored by local lads
I acknowledge that I have not been admired by local young men.
Not that I ever tried to be a saint
I have never actively pursued a virtuous or saintly image.
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I am often regarded as old-fashioned or charmingly out-of-date.
I'm old fashioned, I love the moonlight
Despite modern trends, I appreciate the romantic atmosphere of moonlight.
I love the old fashioned things
I cherish traditional and timeless things in life.
The sound of rain upon a window pane
I enjoy the soothing sound of raindrops hitting a window.
The starry song that April sings
I find beauty in the poetic melody that April, the month, creates with the stars.
This years fancies are passing fancies
I recognize that current trends are fleeting and temporary.
But sighing sighs, holding hands
Expressions of affection and intimacy, like sighs and holding hands, resonate with me.
These my heart understands
My heart connects with and understands these simple, timeless gestures.
I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it
Despite being considered old-fashioned, I embrace it without reservations.
That's how I want to be
This is my preferred way of being, and I am comfortable with it.
As long as you agree
As long as you also share this old-fashioned sentiment.
To stay old fashioned with me.
I desire a mutual commitment to staying traditional and classic.
I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it
Reiteration of embracing and being content with an old-fashioned lifestyle.
That's how I want to be
Reaffirming the preference for an old-fashioned way of life.
As long as you agree
As long as you also share this old-fashioned sentiment.
To stay old fashioned with me.
Expressing the desire for a shared commitment to maintaining an old-fashioned lifestyle.
